Distinctive FeaturesThis is a south Tunisian version of the common Dressel 2-4 type. The best known variant is small sized with a blurred profile more evoking than strictly copying the original Dressel 2-4 shape. The neck is short with short and rounded with strong double-barrelled handles. The body is cylindrical, terminated by an elongated solid foot with thickened base.See characteristics | ||
